All is well, as it could ever be 
All is well, as it could ever be 

All is well, as it could ever be 
All is well, as it could ever, it could ask for 

Me, I told myself that I'd get better, and I knew I would 
But I said that a thousand times 
Said the same in the letters that I wrote to you 
Guess you thought it's that same old line 

Ooh I know, but the rest of my soul it don't ever need a reason why 
Told myself I'd get over it and over you, never will till the day I die 

This won't take long, shouldn't take but a minute 
I got you right here in my heart 
It's only human, it's only natural, it's love or animal 
There you are, so far away, but instead I got it right here in my face 

Shine away, shine away, one look at you and I can see the light of day 
Shine away, shine away, 'cos I'm afraid of what could happen 
If you shine my way, don't you shine my way 

Now that it's over, I ask myself the reason why 
That [was in the time with you on my mind] 
Told myself I'd forget about, forget you 
Now it's changed it don't feel so right 

Ooh I know, but the rest of my soul it don't ever need a reason why 
Love you so and always will, love to love you even still 
Now there you are, so far away, all the while I got it right here in my face 

Shine away, shine away, one look at you and I can see the light of day 
Shine away, shine away, 'cos I'm afraid of what could happen 
If you shine my way 
Shine away, shine away, I got somebody sittin' home, waitin' for me yeah 
Shine away, shine away, you make it hard for somebody 
Who don't want to play, and I want to play 

[Solo] 

I told myself that I'd get better, and I knew I would 
But I said that ten thousand times 
Said the same [if time don't make that call for you] 
Guess you thought it's that same old line 

This won't take long, shouldn't take but a minute 
I got you right here in my heart 
It's only human, it's only natural, it's love or animal 
Now there you are, so far away, all the while I got it right here in my face 

Shine away, shine away, one look at you and I can see the light of day 
Shine away, shine away, 'cos I'm afraid of what could happen 
If you shine my way 
Shine away, shine away, I got somebody sittin' home and waitin' for me 
Shine away, shine away, shine away, shine away, shine away 

Shine away, shine away, shine away, shine away, shine away
